Recently I found a playlist a colleague of mine left behind at the gym and found a plethora of new tunes that I needed to check out right away.

Sooooo—today’s list is a 50-minute interval ride with more flat roads at high speeds than heavy resistance climbing. It starts off with a remix of a mellow 70s songs that I love to death and finishes with a favorite “Babooey” tune. So let’s get to it!!

Ventura Highway(Deepsky’s Blizzard Remix):America

This song is a new favorite discovery for me. It’s just so light and sweet and makes me want to wear a poncho and sit by a campfire.

Rumble and Sway: Jamie N Commons

“Don’t you give me no truth I want all of your lies—whoo hoo!” (Tell me this doesn’t make your butt wiggle a bit!)

Short Skirt/Long Jacket:Cake

The video for this one always makes me smile.

Once in a Lifetime:Talking Heads

I usually play the live version because it rocks too freaking hard!

I Am One: The Smashing Pumpkins

Back in the day I would play this song at full volume tearing down the California highway. (Good times…)

Blurred Lines:Robin Thicke

Here comes the dirty video!!!

Lightning Bolt: Jake Bugg

No this is not Bob Dylan but rather a teenager from England–really!

Just Like a Pill:P!nk

Love, love, love this song to death.

Heroes:David Bowie

The second climb of the ride is a long, windy one and features this tune by one of my favorite artists of all time.

Snow (Hey Oh):Red Hot Chili Peppers

I know all of their songs sound the same but they also all sound good IMHO.

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark:Fall Out Boy

This has to be my favorite tune of the summer of 2013.

Helen Wheels:Paul McCartney & Wings

My favorite Beatle performs this (one more before we cool down) ditty. (Seriously, how cute is he?)
